Welcome to the website of the Cyprus Semiotics Circle (CSC). We are a local community of academics, researchers, scientists, designers, artists, and friends who share a common interest for the study of signs and signification in culture.

Semiotics is a research area that seeks to discover systems of meaning in all phenomena of civilisation in both current and past societies. The object of study of Semiotics includes verbal and non-verbal communication, such as text, image, sound, motion, colours, design, typography, animation, kinetics, architectural environment, literature, translation, theatre, cinema, fine arts, new technologies and artificial intelligence, popular culture, in general anything that involves meaning.

We welcome proposals and suggestions for collaborations that relate to the interests of the Cyprus Semiotics Circle. We aim to provide a platform for exploring, contributing to, and embracing ideas that encourage scientific research into meaning and creative practice in the context of Culture and Visual Communication.

Please click here for our 6th International Conference on Semiotics and Visual Communication, which is organised under the theme ‘The Semiotics of Power’ to take place from the 23rd to the 25th of June 2027 at the premises of Cyprus University of Technology in Lemesos.
